One for deadpools with less strict Qualifying obit criteria (don't all go looking at Maryport all at once) but an Australian columnist called Jack The Insider has Stage III bladder cancer. I'd assume The Insider isn't his actual surname, but then, it is Australia.

Insider would be his surname and The his middle name.

Quick research shows surprisingly that Insider IS his surname, but that his real first name is Idliketoget.

I saw a few days ago that Ernie Sigley (apparently he's a TV presenter and huge in Australia) was "seriously ill". Well, now it's come out he's got Alzheimer's, and the Daily Mail are covering it for future reference.

Thanks for that.

"apparently he's a TV presenter and huge in Australia" - More or less. He hasn't been on TV much in a long time. I have never really watched him but it probably depends on which part of Australia you live in. He was doing Melbourne local radio more recently. He's definitely a household name though. He's most well-known nationally these days for his comedy/music work with Denise Drysdale on the cabaret circuit.
